On Saturday, European leaders including Sir Keir Starmer jointly welcomed the meeting, which is planned for Friday in Alaska. However, they warned that any talks should see Ukraine represented and not permit any land to be ceded to Russia.

(60,499 posts)I absolutely don't get why they continue to argue that it is a hoax. The Senate report, which says Russia did try to influence voters but argued that there was no probable collision with Trump was actually a good place for Trump to leave things.
The fact that people all the way up to Manaford in his campaign shows there was some collision. Reminding people that Barr mishandled the Mueller report and that Mueller did get indictments is not a good idea for Trump.
What it shows is his vanity is hurt by claims that he had help winning in 2016.

Did he have trumps backing for making this declaration?
The majority of Americans support the continued support for Ukraine.
